Areas We Service
ASKUS Consulting Services is centrally located in Schoharie County, allowing
our inspectors to easily serve a w-i-d-e geographic area, including from...
—the Catskills to the Canadian border
—Tug Hill Plateau to the New England borderLicensed for all of New York State -- and we will travel!

So,
you're looking to buy a house, business, land, or investment
property. Great!
You've found one, you know the asking price, and the bank will approve the loan.
Now for the SMART questions such as "What don't I see?" and
"What surprises might the property hold for me?"
Now's the time to consult ASKUS!

ASKUS Consulting Services, LLC
is here to help you by inspecting your potential home or property. We look for
important features the lending institution's inspector and appraiser may not,
such as:

Are those windows really going to be energy efficient?

Is that paint actually lead free?

How pure is the water supply?

How much life do those asphalt shingles have left in
them?

Do you have enough insulation in the attic for a cold
Northeast winter?

Is the property graded adequately, so the next rainstorm
won't make your home a "houseboat"?

...and many other items.

REMEMBER: an inspection is NOT just for pre-purchase
purposes. All our services are available both to buyers and to owners.

Why should YOU demand a InterNACHI Certified Member?
Of the states having inspector licensing requirements, most --including New York--
recognize InterNACHI Certification requirements, Standards of Practice, and Code
of Ethics as meeting or exceeding their own. InterNACHI's Certification and Continuing
Education requirements (annual re-certification by written test, 26 hours annual
continuing education) are more than twice as stringent as those of New York State!

InterNACHI requires its members to continually enhance their ability to serve
you. Member inspectors --through chapter meetings, newsletters, and continuing
education seminars-- receive and use the latest information about industry standards,
building codes, inspection tools, methods, and techniques.

That means YOU, the ASKUS client, will receive service from
inspectors on the cutting edge of their profession!

CHARACTER COUNTS!ETHICS
The Codes of Ethics of InterNACHI requires that prior to starting any inspection,
the certified member inspector and the company s/he represents MUST tell the
client about any potential conflict of interest. The inspector CANNOT use the
inspection process to obtain work of any kind on the building being inspected.

Additionally, Company Policy of ASKUS Consulting Services,
LLC is even more rigorous. In particular, ASKUS:

forbids any of its inspectors from accepting or offering
any compensation for knowledge that was gained by the inspection;

does not allow either itself or any of its inspectors to
have any direct involvement in the building trades. While they may have experience
in building trades, ASKUS inspectors are DEDICATED INSPECTORS and not carpenters,
electricians, roofers, plumbers, painters, exterminators, etc. who "do inspections
on the side."

You can be sure that ASKUS Consulting Services has
NO conflicts of interest!

NEW InterNACHI Program:
ASKUS Consulting Services participates in the International Association
of Certified Home Inspectors' "We'll buy back your home guarantee." See
the InterNACHI website for details.
